[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 5990608, member: 21938"] Comoray and Greggory chip away at the left-hand skurg whilst Bastian levels a mighty blow at the right-hand skurg, cutting through the bone and muscle of its shoulder. The creature looks ragged and worn, and looks about it for a way of escape. Meanwhile, Dack leads his group of Dulat troops around to flank the central mass of skurg and beastmen, closing the gap but causing no damage. On Bastian's left, near the keep, the Dulat men trade wound for wound with the beastmen on that side. A beastmean falls, but then so does Trooper Kwarto. And then the doors to the keep burst open and a ferocious skurg charges forth, in its huge fist it clutches a curved, wickedly spiked hook-like weapon. It rushes down to the melee and hurls Trooper Otto aside like a rag doll. [COLOR="Sienna"]"Where you champion?"[/COLOR] it roars. [COLOR="Sienna"]"Aarach will crush!"[/COLOR] Elsewhere, as Arcata's magic missile hits the sword-carrying beastman atop the tower, and she gives the order to fire, Janson, at her bridle, casually drops his sword to stick point-first in the soft ground, raises and loads his crossbow and fires. For a moment it looks like the bolt is going to hit the beastman smack between the eyes, but it ducks aside at the last moment and is clipped in the ear instead. Barely has it reacted, however, when the three archers on the wall near Cassie and Sh'aah raise their bows and fire, all arrows winging the creature, and Tye, down at the base of the keep sends a bolt of his own. The beastman ducks inside the keep. Sh'aah smashes into the oncoming beastmen, cutting one down, but more keep coming, slamming into the Dulat troops at the base of the keep and threatening to swamp them and Sh'aah. Neffer, Alf and Saxon all fall under the axes of the beastmen but Setto, already badly wounded, injures two more beastmen and holds his ground. On the keep, there is crossbow fire at Arcata and at Tye, but all the bolts miss. [COLOR="SandyBrown"]"I suggest taking cover, your ladyship,"[/COLOR] says Janson, managing to imbue the title with sarcasm rather than deference. [COLOR="SandyBrown"]"These f***ers are crap shots but it only takes one to get lucky..."[/COLOR] [sblock=OOC] 7 Damage to Comoray from Skurg 2 Otherwise all damage was between NPCs None of the Dulat troops are outright dead, yet, but the following are on negative hit points: D1 (stable) D3 D4 D8 D9 D11 D16 Heroic D7 is on 1 hit point. He didn't actually wound 2 beastmen, that was a combination of Dulat NPCs, but it sounds better! Of the penal legion troops, P3 (Cassie) is on 2/13 hp Skurgs S2 and S3 are wounded, as are the following beastmen B18 B19 B31 and B37 (the "strange" one with the sword). [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
